Song of the day: Freedom- Pharrell Williams



Hold on to me
Don't let me go
Who cares what they see
Who cares what they know?
Your first name is Free
Last name is Dom
Cause you still believe
In where we’re from


Man's red flower
It's in every living thing
Mind, use your power
Spirit, use your wings
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom


Hold on to me
Don't let me go
Cheetahs need to eat
Run, antelope
Your first name is King
Last name is Dom
Cause you still believe
In everyone


When a baby first breathes
When night sees sunrise
When the whale hops the sea
When man recognizes
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom
Freedom
Breathe in


We are from heat
The electric one
Does it shock you to see
He left us the sun?
Atoms in the air
Organisms in the sea
The sun and yes, man
Are made of the same things


Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Song of the day: Τον ίδιο το Θεό- Μπλε


Ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου κομμάτια των Μπλε και γενικότερα. Έχει τέτοια δύναμη αυτό το κομμάτι επάνω μου. Έχει ένταση μα και ηρεμία. Έχει πάθος κι έρωτα. Έχει αυτό που σε κάνει να θες να τα κάνεις όλα πουτάνα και να μείνεις εκεί που λέει η καρδιά σου. Αγαπημένος μου στίχος "Μάρτιο θυμίζεις, πώς να σε προβλέψω;".


"Τον ίδιο το Θεό"

Πάνω σου η γη ξυπνάει, 
ήλιος μπαίνει από παντού.
Κάθομαι και σε κοιτάζω, μη με φοβάσαι.

Είσαι ακόμα από τον ύπνο, 
τ’όνειρο έχει εξατμιστεί.
Μάρτιο θυμίζεις πώς να σε προβλέψω;

Ένα απ’όλα τα βιβλία
που έχω μέσα μου βαθιά
του έρωτα φεγγάρια μαύρα το φωτίζουν.

Τίποτα δεν έχει μείνει
κι όμως όλα είναι εδώ.
Άφησέ με να αγγίξω τα μαλλιά σου.

Τον ίδιο το Θεό να είχα απέναντί μου
σου λέω προτιμώ στην κόλαση μαζί σου.

Άφωνη η ζωή ρωτάει
τόση ομορφιά από πού;
Βρέχει ο ουρανός ρουμπίνια κι απαντάει:

Μόνο η αγάπη ξέρει τώρα έμαθα κι εγώ
πόσο ανάγκη έχω από την αγκαλιά σου.

Τον ίδιο το Θεό να είχα απέναντί μου
σου λέω προτιμώ στην κόλαση μαζί σου.

Τίποτα άλλο εκτός από εσένα στο φως.
Τίποτα άλλο που να με σκοτώνει γλυκά.

Τον ίδιο το Θεό να είχα απέναντί μου
σου λέω προτιμώ στην κόλαση μαζί σου.

Song of the day: Με ταξιδεύεις- Μπλε


"Με ταξιδεύεις"

Με ταξιδεύεις…

Αν μπορούσα μόνο λίγο και εγώ
να σου πω τι θέλω, τι επιθυμώ.
Αν μπορούσα έστω μόνο μια στιγμή
να φωνάξω έλα και να είσαι εκεί

Αν μπορούσες λίγο να το φανταστείς 
σε μια ελπίδα μέσα να χωράνε τρεις
μια τρελή μου σκέψη πέρασε νωρίς

Με ταξιδεύεις…

Αν μπορούσες μέσα μου να μπεις βαθιά
κολυμπώντας κάπου γύρω στη καρδιά
να πνιγείς στο κόκκινο απ` τη φωτιά

Αν μπορούσα τότε θα` μασταν αλλιώς
Δυο λευκά φεγγάρια σ` ένα μαύρο φως

Με ταξιδεύεις…

Song of the day: Imagine- John Lennon




Το "Imagine" είναι το best seller της solo καριέρας του John Lennon, έχοντας πουλήσει 1.6 εκατομμύρια αντίτυπα μόνο στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.

Οι στίχοι του τραγουδιού ενθαρρύνουν τον ακροατή να φανταστεί έναν κόσμο με ειρήνη χωρίς τους φραγμούς των συνόρων ή τον διαχωρισμό των θρησκειών και των εθνοτήτων και να εξετάσει το ενδεχόμενο ότι η ανθρωπότητα θα έπρεπε να εστιάσει στο να ζει μια ζωή μη εξαρτημένη και προσαρμοσμένη σε υλικά αγαθά.

Για τη συγγραφή του "Imagine" ο Lennon εμπνεύστηκε από ορισμένα ποιήματα της Yoko Ono από ένα βιβλίο του 1964, με την ονομασία "Grapefruit". Όταν ρωτήθηκε για το νόημα πίσω από το "Imagine" ο Lennon είπε ότι ο Dick Gregory είχε δώσει στην Ono και σε αυτόν ένα χριστιανικό βιβλίο προσευχών το οποίο του ενέπνευσε την ιδέα πίσω από το "Imagine".

Η ιδέα πίσω από το "Imagine" από τον Lennon:

"If you can imagine a world at peace, with no denominations of religion—not without religion but without this my God-is-bigger-than-your-God thing—then it can be true ... the World Church called me once and asked, "Can we use the lyrics to 'Imagine' and just change it to 'Imagine' one religion'?". That showed [me] they didn't understand it at all. It would defeat the whole purpose of the song, the whole idea".


"Imagine"


Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Song of the day: Who's laughing now- Jessie J


Πάντα πίστευα πώς κάθε τραγούδι, έχει για κάθε άνθρωπο ένα άλλο νόημα. Ίσως γι' αυτό, αν ανατρέξουμε σε διάφορα forums που αναλύουν τραγούδια ή και ποιήματα ή πίνακες ζωγραφικής και άλλα έργα τέχνης, βλέπουμε πολλές διαφορετικές απόψεις να αναπτύσσονται. 
Το συγκεκριμένο κομμάτι όποτε το ακούω σκέφτομαι πως αφορά ένα άτομο που κάποτε- όταν πήγαινε σχολείο συγκεκριμένα- οι συμμαθητές του το είχαν κάνει στην άκρη και του συμπεριφέρονταν άσχημα. Κοινώς ένα ακόμα θύμα bullying.
Και το καλύτερο της ιστορίας είναι πως άλλαξε οι συμπεριφορά των θυτών, όταν το άτομο που κορόιδευαν, έγινε διάσημο και φτασμένο. Πώς ξαφνικά το αγάπησαν και έσπευσαν να γίνουν φίλοι του.
Το φαινόμενο του bullying δυστυχώς έχει πάρει πολύ μεγάλες διαστάσεις, που έχουν φτάσει μέχρι το σημείο αθώες ψυχές να θυσιάζονται στον βωμό του. Είτε μιλάμε για δολοφονία, είτε για αυτοκτονία, δεν αλλάζει το γεγονός ότι ένας άνθρωπος χάνεται.
Και ακόμα και αν δεν χαθεί, σίγουρα χάνει ένα κομμάτι του. 
Σήμερα στο mariel's spot, η μέρα είναι αφιερωμένη στα θύματα bullying, καθώς και στους θύτες, καθώς πολλές φορές παίζει ρόλο και η οικογένεια στην ανάπτυξη συμπεριφορών. 
Ας μην υπάρξουν άλλα θύματα. 


"Who's Laughing Now"

Mummy they called me names
They wouldn't let me play
I'd run home, sit and cry almost everyday
"Hey Jessica, you look like an alien
With green skin you don't fit in this playpen"
Oh they pulled my hair
They took away my chair
I'd keep it in and pretend that I didn't care
"Hey Jessica, you're so funny
You've got teeth just like Bugs Bunny"

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

Yeah Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Cause I'm in L.A.
You think I've made my fame
FB makes us friends
When you only really know my name
"Oh Jessie, we knew you could make it
I've got a track and I'd love you to take it"
So now because I'm signed
You think my pockets lined
Four years now and I'm still waiting in the line
"Oh Jessie, I saw you on YouTube
I tagged old photos from when we was at school"

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you dragged my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising

Yeah Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Jessie
She broke out of the box
Swallowed your pride
You got that ego cough (cough , cough)
Let the haters hate (cough,cough)
You're like way too late
Click click to see I got a message from you
"Hola, I'm proud of you"
"Oh my God babe your voice is like wow!"
My reply: Who's laughing now?

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down?
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
(Hey, hey. Who's laughing?)
But who's laughing now
(Hey, hey, Who's laughing?)
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now

Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?
Who's laughing, laughing now?

Who's laughing, laughing now?

Song of the day: No ordinary love- Sade



"No Ordinary Love"


I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love 
Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby 

I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love 

I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby 

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love 

When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile 

Didn't I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won't last
Didn't I give you
All that I've got to give baby 

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love 

I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There's nothing like you and I baby 

This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary Love 

Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I'm falling 

I'm falling 

Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying for you I'm falling
I'm falling

Song of the day: Listen to your heart- Roxette

Γιατί αν δεν ακούσεις την καρδιά σου, ποιόν θα ακούσεις;





Listen to your heart


I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Το τραγούδι της ημέρας: While your lips are still red- Nightwish


While your lips are still red

Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

Το τραγούδι της ημέρας: This i promise you- 'N Sync

Επειδή οι boybands του '90 θα ζουν πάντα μέσα στη καρδιά των κοριτσιών που τις λάτρεψαν στην άνθισή τους, το τραγούδι της ημέρας είναι μια μπαλάντα απο ένα pop boyband που οι περισσότερες απο εμάς λάτρεψαν εκείνη την δεκαετία (παρά το- για την εποχή μας- κιτς ντύσιμο και βαμμένο κόκκινο- και ξανθό ενίοτε- μαλλί). Α, ας μην ξεχνάμε και τις απίθανες χορογραφίες!
Έτσι. Γιατί αυτά τα χρόνια μπορεί να πέρασαν, αλλά ήταν μοναδικά και ανεπανάληπτα.


This i promise you

Oh, oh
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing there all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Til' the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Just close your eyes (close your eyes)each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
Til' the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I thought
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms (I will take you in my arms)
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Til' the day my life is through
This I promise you, babe
Just close your eyes each loving day (each loving day)
And know this feeling won't go away (no)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you

Το τραγούδι της ημέρας: Fly away- Lenny Kravitz



Fly away

I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly


I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas in all degrees
To anywhere I please


Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah


Oh I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah


Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours


Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh oh oh yeah !


I want to get away
I want to fly away
Yeah yeah yeah


I want to get away
